Aixovall: CG1 - PK 5+815 (Boca nord túnel la Tapia) - 922 metres
Aixovall has served as a small settlement in Andorra’s Valira valley since the medieval period. In the parish of Sant Julià de Lòria, it occupies a confined stretch of valley where the Valira runs south through the Pyrenees toward the Spanish border. The CG-1, Andorra’s principal road to Spain, passes through Aixovall, while the nearby Túnel de la Tàpia cuts beneath the rocky valley side. This transport corridor gives the locality a practical character amid steep, wooded slopes. Aixovall also has the Romanesque church of Sant Pere, linking the settlement to Andorra’s medieval religious heritage.

The valley around Aixovall is steep-sided and enclosed by the Pyrenees, a setting that has shaped both its compact built form and the road connections serving southern Andorra. The settlement lies in the parish of Sant Julià de Lòria, close to the Valira River as it runs toward the Spanish border. This is a residential corner of the principality rather than a separate resort town, with mountain slopes rising quickly above the valley floor. Catalan, Andorra’s official language, anchors everyday local life, while Sant Julià de Lòria is the parish’s civic centre.

In the east, the Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley is inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List as a cultural landscape shaped over centuries by pastoral use.
